This is so fascinating thank you! I was a voracious reader of Nancy Drew books as a pre-teen in the late 80s but all the screen adaptations completely passed me by - I will have to check them out. Love the pics of the 1930s fan club ephemera - sadly it sounds like 11 old me wouldn’t have qualified had it still been going half a century later as I certainly didn’t have a “steady boyfriend who was more friend than lover” 😂

Thanks for sharing that. I'm sure Warner Bros weren't doing too many background checks... the 11 y.o. you could have lied about your boyfriend status and got away with it, I certainly would have tried if it meant I qualified for a freebie :)
